OK, let's do this. We've got 2126 and 1771 and we're adding them all together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 1 in column 1 and get 7.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 7 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 7 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 1 in column 4 and get 3.

So, 2126 + 1771 = 3897.
